The name was on my list, seemed to fit a bard, and sounded
female, so the character ended up female. Like I said, I
hadn't intended it to be my main character. If I had, I
probably would've done things much differently (I put 25
points into charisma so I could use the character to test
the range of prices too).

Playing piano since I was 7. Engineer by schooling though,
and engineers are a sort of jack of all trades. The ranger is
also considered the archetypical hybrid, and the druid is
supposed to be the swiss army knife of spellcasters (can heal,
can nuke, can buff, can debuff, can travel), and they were my
other top choices for characters. I guess I like playing jack
of all trades types.
